Mai. Mckinney, of GAINESVILLE, Wis, a
most excellent Judge of horses and very
sparkling writer, has written letter to
Wilkes Spirit of the Times, in which he
describes visit to j. l. Cases stables and
tells what he thinks about Pioneer Belle.
This filly was bred by II. G. Finkle. OF
Moorhead, Mimi, and purchased year OF
more ago by Mr.. Case. She Is by Pioneer
1712, son of Volunteer. Her dam was
Miss McLoud the grand dam of Egbert
and dam or Lord Nelson, 2:264 at three
years old. While at Mr.. Cases place they
hitched up Bonnie Glen ana Pioneer Belle
and made up kind of eXtemporiZed
race between the two on the snow,
in which Pioneer Belle took the lead.
Both are three years of age and very
promising indeed. 1t must be remembered
that this tilly was bred by Mr.. Finkle at
Moorhead, on the Red River of the North,
where Lord Nelson was bred also. This
is in the region where the mercury drops
down to 20 or so below quite frequently.
Mr.. Finkle has always maintained that just
as fast horses can be bred in Minnesota as
can be raised in Kentucky, and it must be
admitted that the stock he has raised seems
to go far to demonstrate the truth OF his
assertion. When Mr.. Case came up here
and bought Pioneer Belle he knew he got a
good one. In regard to her, Mambrino says
in his letter:
Mr. Finkle who ored Belle, will be delighte
when say that all ne claimed for Belle is
sure to be verified. The most remarkable
feature of Bellies speed is that she was bred
and fOaled at Moorhead, MIMI, CITY that
lies opposite Fargo on the Northern Pacific
railroad. Mr.. Finkle has always declared
bat trn1N hos hoo ertyv RI
climatic effect in breeding: that with proper
blood and speed lines and careful rearing
high rate of speed could be developed even
in Northern Minnesota. Lord Nelson, 2:2614,
and Pioneer Belle are strong endorsements of
his claims.
